THERE seems to be a determined at
tempt on the part of the railroads 70
make the interstate commerce law very
obnoxious to the people by taking adj
vantage Of every opportunity it gives to
Cypress travellers and shippers. This
attempt will be failure, and will work
more harm to the railroads than to the
law. Public sentiment is demanding
that the railroads shall also be held to
the letter of the law, and as they give
no advantage to the public they shall
have no advantages themselves. The
law was designed to protect the people
from the railroads, and she Commission
ers should see that it Is so carried out.

WE don't think we will ever say any,
thing against the hustle any more. Miss
Annie Jordan, while walking on rail-
road track in Ohio the other day, was
struck by a locomotive and thrown fully
thirty feet. OF course it was thought
she was killed, but investigation showed
she was only slightly hurt. A large
hustle which she wore had broken the
force of the conclusion and thus saved
her life.

One of the most important questions
agitating the minds of the directors OF
the West Virginia penitentiary is, How
shall the convicts be employed? The
directors have been unable to make new
contracts for their labor, and In short
time most of the convicts will be Idle.
They cannot be kept unemployed,
neither Is it desired to bring them into
competition with honest labor. 1t is
proposed to employ some of them at
making furniture for the schools of the
State, put others at work on farm to
be bought for the purpose of raising
vegetables for the use of the prison,
while others are to make clothing for
the inmates OF the insane asylum. There
will still be number of idle ones,
though, and rather than have them do
nothing they should be put to work on
the public roads in the State. There is
plenty for them to do in that line.

excuse for reviving war issues and ex-
citing sectional animosity, says:
General Jackson, who made the Lost

The Victory IN Virginia

The Democrat of Richmond and of
Virginia send greeting to the Democrats
throughout the Union. Both State
j and city have been true TO themselves,
and have held the outer defences of the
South against the malignants MALONE
republicanism has received a mortal
wound. and the worst enemy Virginia
ever had has been rendered unable
10 keep his contract to deliver
the State and the South over to
JONI SHERMAN, the leader of the South.
hsters in 1888.
The contest in Richmond was one of
the closest in her history. The fight
was against foes without and foes within.
Every expedient that a willy and I'M
scrupulous enemy could resort to in
order TO capture the city WAS resorted to.
But the event shows that Richmond is
still entitled to he called the Citadel
of Virginia Democracy"
At this writing the returns from the
State at large are not all in, but enough
is known 10 render it beyond question
that the Democrats have large majority
in the Legislature. We have suffered
some few losses, but these losses were
clearly due to over-confidence, and are
more than counter balanced by the
gains we have made Our losses will
prove a lesson that will not be
forgotten. and our gains will encourage
tho Democracy everywhere to put forth
their full strength in the presidential
fight next year. The Tenth Legion has
come bravely to the front, IN that Page
has shaken off Republican letters, and
day has broken through the dark cloud
in the blacklist part of the Black Belt.
The importance of the general result
cannot be over-estimated. The victory
sounds the death knell of MALONE po- /
litically. Defeated in the capital and /
defeated in the rest of the State, he has |
not only lost his hold upon Virginia, but /
lost ali that made him influential with .
the northern South-haters, by whom he I
was only tolerated at best for the service /
he promised to render them.
Virginia has, in truth, "set the pace /
for the South in the coming national /
struggle, and sends to the lovers of .
peace and fraternity in the North the .
assurance that the South is still solid as
against the sectional vampires and the
moral traitors-still solid for good gov
ernment. The Republican leaders raised
the cry. GAS goes Virginia, so goes the
South" So be il.
